Did rookie catcher Dalton Rushing push the ultimate unicorn too far? On the latest episode of D-Mac and Reiter on 97.1 The Fan LA, Doug McKain and Bill Reiter dive deep into the massive drama brewing behind the dish for the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a brutal cross-up and multiple dismissed challenges against the Minnesota Twins, Shohei Ohtani showed rare, visible frustration with the young backstop. Is the LA fan base reacting too harshly by wanting to run Rushing out of town, or did the rookie commit an unforgivable baseball sin by trying to show up Superman? The guys break down the stats, the ego, the Bright Lights of Los Angeles, and take calls from passionate Dodgers fans.
